You may remember that the last 100 Blocks issue (see my block from volume 14 here) was my very first print magazine appearance! Well, this time around is my second magazine appearance - and my block is on the cover!!!

If you're new here, hello! I'm Laura! I design quilt patterns, and I'm a self-proclaimed deal hunter! Be sure to join the popular Quilting & Sewing Deals Facebook group where I post sales, deals, and coupon codes from all around the web!
I am SO excited to be a cover girl!! If you live near me (southwest Missouri), be on the look out for me in stores starting tomorrow when the issue goes on newsstands! I'll be the one telling every customer in the store that my block is on the cover, and I'll be taking selfies with the magazine too!! (Follow me on Facebook and Instagram for all of that fun!)
On the cover, my block appears right above Bonnie Hunter's! That has to mean something. I think I'll just start calling Bonnie my BFF and see how long it takes for her to notice! Ha!
My block is on page 52. It is named "Split Mountain" and is block #1484. I made the sample block with solid fabrics in ombre purples and a contrasting aqua.
Thanks to the miracle of technology (specifically EQ7), I have played with MANY other color combinations and block layouts and come up with some fabulous quilt ideas! I am always surprised with how different a quilt looks by just changing the colors!
 |
| A pinwheel layout using the original colors |
 |
| A more modern and non-traditional layout |
 |
| This blue ombre might be my favorite! |
 |
| Navy and coral is always a great choice |
 |
| A red and green Christmas version |
 |
| This one reminds me of a 90's skate party! |
 |
| The secondary pattern really shows in this one |
 |
| This layout has a completely different look! |
Head over to Quiltmaker's QuiltyPleasures Blog to see all the designers that are participating in the hop! There are giveaways at every stop! Giveaways now closed.
Now for the best part! Giveaways!
First up, the prizes!
First up, the prizes!
One lucky reader will receive an issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 14 straight from Quiltmaker headquarters!
Two additional readers will each receive a copy of the magazine, five random fat quarters, and a print copy of one of my quilt patterns!!
I'll go first! We had 15" of rain on Friday and Saturday, in addition to the 6" we got in the 14 days before that! There was severe flooding in our area that washed away many roads and even entire bridges! On Sunday, every road into and out of our county was closed due to flooding and/or damage. We live up on a hill, so we are dry and stocked up on food. However, many of our friends and neighbors have not fared so well. Sunday afternoon the sun came out and the water started to recede, so hopefully there will not be any more rain this week!

We had a week of rain but nothing like what you have had. Please stay where you are safe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun block, lots of possibilities. Heard about the terrible weather in the US on the radio this morning. Here we have rain, but it supposed to brighten later :)
ReplyDeleteThis past week spring seems to have finally arrived. But...severe storms then cooler weather are coming. I hope you're weather is finally starting to settle!
ReplyDeleteGreat block. It sure has a lot of movement. My stomach was moving with some of them. I have a roaring migraine today and you can imagine what those lines and colors did to my head!!!! I didn't see the geese possibility until all of sudden- wham - there is was. Versatility, deluxe. I live in a suburb of Tulsa and we have had rain, rain, rain and more rain and flood warnings. I've been safe and I pray for your safety, Laura. You are officially a cover girl. WOW! If I see Bonnie ever again (which I doubt), I'll tell her I know her BFF. Hoping to be a winner - however, it always works out that the right person wins the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here in South Jersey has been crazy. On Sat it was 85 degrees and yesterday dropped into the low 50's. Sun one day, pouring rain the next. Thanks for the ideas about using ombres. I have several in my stash and never really knew what to do with them. funnylady93@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteAt the moment it is very rainy and quite cool! Yesterday it was just the opposite. Warm and sunny. Still some april wheather her in Switzerland, lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue version! I won't complain about all our rainy days anymore after seeing the flooding you are experiencing! We've had weeks of rain, but not like you!! Hope it dries out soon!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a cover girl! What an honor! Nice block, love all the different designs you came up with!
ReplyDeleteI am across the state from you in St. Louis. We got a lot of the same rain you did this weekend, but not quite as much. I think the total from Friday through yesterday was just over 7". So glad it has finally cleared off, but we are supposed to get more rain later this week.
Sandy A
thanks for the block inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love your block, it has so many possibilities. I live in Key Largo, Florida where we have blue skies and lots of sun but summer has arrived, the temps are high 80's.
ReplyDeleteThat blue version is my favorite! We have a winter storm warning today, and my son is mad that school's not closed. He just had a day off last week when we had an ice storm.
ReplyDeleteFantastic block, Laura! In South Carolina we are enjoying a nice spring. Sorry to hear about all the rain in your area, scarey!
ReplyDeleteThe flooding is over and guess what's coming? Thundershowers! Fingers crossed
ReplyDeleteYour block and all the setting options are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI live in central Missouri and have had about half the amount of rain that you have which is still way too much! And it is raining again this morning. Hope you are able to get roads and such back to normal quickly.
I'm glad you are safe. The weather here has been all over the place -- one day in the 80's, the next in the low 60's.
ReplyDeleteyfg3749@yahoo.com
It has been hot hot hot here in eastern NC!! Maybe a rain shower tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here in MI has been crazy this year also. One day it will be beautiful and high 70's maybe even 80, the next we'll have frost in the AM or high 30's and rain. Today is another rainy day.
ReplyDeleteI really love your block---so many possibilities! Thank you for sharing and for the giveaway Today it is raining. We have had LOTS of rain in the last several weeks, but nothing like what you are getting. I am not complaining though because we really need it.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here has been cold and wet. The weatherman said we could see snow flakes this morning.Your block is great with lots of ways to make it. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a lot of rain as well as windy days. Right now the sun is out and it is so wonderful to see and feel that sun on your face and body. You just seem to be in a better mood and don't feel so confined. Thank you for sharing your layouts with us. This is where inspiration comes into the picture. It is what helps us to design and create. Gets you into the quilting mood. Thank you for being a part of QM's 100 blocks and giving me this opportunity to try and win - Magazine, fabric. OMG .

We've had a lot more rain than usual here this year but nowhere near what your area experienced.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your terrible weather! We are in northern Oregon, and we're experiencing "sun breaks" at last--brief periods where the sun comes out and we all rush outdoors and do anything we can think of that can be done outside, because we're so thrilled to be in the sunshine. I'm told we're expecting actual warm days later this week, but I'll believe it when I see it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That is such rough roading around you! I hope it clears up and gets fixed quickly! I live on the central coast and we have had the first rainy winter in years. It has helped replenish our drought ridden area. Today is however gorgeous and sunny with a cloud bank over the ocean on the horizon. It has been a bit cold and windy but is supposed to be warmer today. It's mostly mild weather here year round and we love it! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway and the fun new block to try. I'll say hey! to Bonnie for you :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! rains and flash floods are no Bueno! I am in Texas ( grew up in Missouri, though ) and we have had TORNADOS! in fact this weekend I was on a bus shop hop and just barely missed being caught in one. I wondered if there were quilt shops in Oz..
ReplyDeleteLove your block,, it is on my to-do list ( and playing with EQ for settings ),, just love it. Thanks

ReplyDeleteIt has been rainy here ! I live near Lake Ontario and the level is too high! Lots of flooding near the lake.
ReplyDeleteFabulous block, I need to make this, probably more than one quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow when you get rain it is scary, it must take along time to get those roads and bridges repaired. Today We only have a few sprinkles of rain in Saskatchewan, Canada

Wow--your block is super fun! That flooding is scary---I woke up to snow this morning in MN--no May flowers here!
ReplyDeleteI live in Alberta, Canada and in the month of April we have had rain, snow and a few days with sleet. By Wednesday the temperature is to go up to 18C but we will probably see snow again in May.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your block. I love all the different versions of the quilts you showed us. We have had SUNSHINE!!! After a long and wet winter (including 2 floods) it is great to have the sun shine and be able to be outdoors. In fact, I did some ice dyeing (definitely an outdoor activity as it is messy).
ReplyDeleteI love the versatility of your block. Great for the boys and men in my life. Our temperatures have been like a yo-yo. 80s one day, 60s the next.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This is a gorgeous block. Our weather has been non-spring like. We have a day of hot sunshine followed by 3-5 cold, damp and dreary days. Forsythia is blooming as is everything else, but not much pleasure in the weather here. I feel for you with the rain and road washouts.
ReplyDeleteLove your block. Sorry about your terrible weather. This week has been variable with rain, wind and sun. Feels like spring creeps in, then retreats.
ReplyDeleteWe've been having a lot of rain the last couple of days with flood warnings.
ReplyDeleteWe have had rain,rain, and more rain. But, no terrible weather to go with it. Sorry to hear about all of the bad weather you have had. Your block is fantastic! Love how different it looks in each setting.
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting it to be 100 degrees by Friday here in Bakersfield....sigh
ReplyDeleteIn the last two weeks, we have had high winds, 99 degree to 72 degree and back weather, and am expecting rain by the end of the week. Humidity 8 %. Idiot kids (young adults) shooting flares from their cars into dry brush and starting drive-by fires. Just another day in paradise!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't spring here in the Netherlands. Cold and rain . We are looking forward to sunshine
ReplyDeleteFist off, I love your block! So modern with clean lines. As for weather, I live in NE Oklahoma so we've been getting the same storms as you, probably. The rivers are full, so I hope it slows down soon. cknapp3626(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteGreat block!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could send some rain our way(UK) we only had 4mm in April!
We have just had rain here in central Kansas... but on the noon news in Western Kansas 20+ inches of snow!!! crazy spring.. I think the seasons have moved!!!
ReplyDeletedrhodes9@cox.net.
Your block in interesting.. I can see some great options.. thanks..
Southwest Idaho is experiencing some severe flooding too. Our snowfall this winter was one of the deepest in 100 years. The mountain runoff is in full swing, coupled with a lot of rain. Bonnie Hunter follower here too! Your block really presents a lot of variations - love the layout possibilities you gave. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe've been getting alot of rain too. The dogs and cats are tired of it, that's for sure. And since gardens just got put in, alot of them are under water.
ReplyDeletecongratulations. your block is wonderful. it has been raining her for the last week. and next week is supposed to be the same. sigh. it is spring. woohoo
ReplyDeleteWe had a gorgeous weekend but started off our Monday with lots of rain. It seems to be gone now, hooray.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a few showers today in the UK but the sun has been out and the wind has dried the washing. Much better than last week when it snowed and hailed.
ReplyDeleteI live 25 miles east of Los Angeles, the weather is about 84 today heading into 90 this weekend. Yep...Summer will soon be sizzling away!
ReplyDeleteWeather is always a conversation subject here in the High Plains of Colorado farm country. Our neighbors 15 miles away were part of the crazy fires March 6 and now less than 100 miles south of us snow from a few inches to over a foot in places and it lays on top of growing winter wheat. We are so thankful to brag on our one inch rain, and that's abundant for us. Love your patterns and your new BBF on the cover. In Stitches, Kathy in Colo repzjratplainsdotnet
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your block! Being a cover girl is pretty cool, congratulations! Great job on your post, too.
ReplyDeleteLuckily we're getting some cooler weather, which I'm EXCITED about, because very soon we'll be passing from spring to summer, and our HIGH temps. Can't stand summer!
ReplyDeleteLove your block, see so many possibilities!! Thanks for sharing!! Our weather has been different here in Michigan with what seemed like lots of rain. My gardens are starting to come to life and I'm ready for the green to emerge!!
ReplyDeleteWow, have you had the rain! Hope everyone near you is surviving it. Last Friday we had a day where it was foggy at 7 am, clear blue sky by 11:00, raining by about 2:00, and snowing by 7:00. Crazy spring weather! I love your block! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove the possibiities of the block. Here in WY we've had highs varying from almost 60 to below 30, several inches of rain (unusual), wind, snow, and hail and a night of "Thundersnow"...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about all the terrible weather and destruction you've had where you live. Here in Maine we think Mud Season is over and, although the mountains are getting snow this week, we will be having a lot of rain along the coast and temps in the 50's. So maybe the daffodils will survive! Love your design!
ReplyDeletewe've had a fair bit of rain and the temperature has been up and down. It's been a bit colder than normal but it will heat up for a couple of days and then get cold again . It's a bit crazy making. I love your block and the different layouts.
ReplyDeleteI like the Blue Ombre quit made of this block too! We had a bad line of thunderstorms and rain that passed very quickly through our area (south Mississippi) over the weekend-luckily we escaped the really bad stuff! After, it gave us much needed cooler temps, very welcome here! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteLove the optical illusions and movement of the design created by your block. It was a Sunny day here, but I work inside all day so missed it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWe had a weekend of rain (central KS) but further west of us had over a foot of snow.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine having that much rain! Our weather has been warm and rainy on and off, but no flooding.
ReplyDeleteI saw on the news about all the rain and flooding in MO, I hope things are drying out now. we've had some rain, but really warm temps (70's!) over the weekend. Friday evening was gorgeous, but then Sunday was in the 40s.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool how different layouts of your block look completely different!
OMG, I was complaining today because we are getting our first 90+ degree day this week. Guess I should be happy it is sunny and hot and not raining more. Take care,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making the cover with your Split Mountain block! So sorry to hear about the flooding in your area. The weather here is mild and sunny. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWe had very nice weather on Friday, but since then it has been pretty gloomy and rainy!
ReplyDeleteCold and rainy here in Wisconsin; we even had snow last week. Hoping the sun finds its way north soon!! Your block has a ton of possible layouts which makes it much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's spring for one day here. Now it's summer temps (so not my liking). We love in Maryland between DC and Baltimore. Unfortunately it is going to be a summer for ticks :) Nice comment huh? Looking forward to several days of normal spring temps before they rise again. Congrats on a great block, and being a cover girl :)
ReplyDeleteI'll see if we can send you some sunshine from Arizona as it is going to hit 102 this week. Good work getting your block on the cover page. rozz01 at cox dot net
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being a cover girl! Your block is very unique and so are the quilt layouts. Weather here in Florida has been warm but sunny. I'm really enjoying the weather.
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been crazy. One day it's 80, the next it's 60, rain on and off. Hopefully we'll have some nice Spring weather soon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!... How exciting, to be on the cover!
ReplyDelete(But, not surprising, though!... That's one amazing block!!)
We have had a lot of rain here in Michigan, too... But NO where near the amounts, and the flooding you have had!!
Weather here has been quite variable too, with warm sun alternating with cold and rain and thunderstorms...
Pat T.
We've been RVing in AZ for 10 days. First couple of days, the temp hit 98°, then windy. We're farther north now and it is gorgeous--sunny and cool.
ReplyDeleteLove your block, Laura! Right there on the cover! Yay!
ReplyDeleteHere in Minnesota we had snow one day last week. Otherwise we've had 4" of rain in the past two weeks. A bit soggy, but nothing like you've had.
First of all, I love how versatile the pattern is. So many choices. As for the weather, well lets just say that it can be winter one day, summer the next, tornado's the next. Recently the weather has changed so often you can't tell what season it is.
ReplyDeleteLove your block, and all the great settings you show. The blue ombre is definitely my favorite, too. Our Spring has been very wet, with a lot of flooding, too. Quite a bit of our back yard is still under water.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am in Seattle and it's been raining here everyday since this past October they say. I am from North Dakota and they had snow last week and when I get home on the 4th of May, suppose to be in the 70's. survivor972002@midco.net
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been variable here in the Chicago suburbs--sunny, windy, torrentially rainy, sprinkles, clouds, and cold. Typical midwestern spring.
ReplyDeletePurple and aqua are my favorite colors, individually and together in quilts! Thank you for showing color and design options. April spring weather is crazy here in Utah, USA. We've gone from freezing, to rain, snow, sleet, hail, to nearly 80 degrees. Sometimes in the same 24-hour period. We're a high mountain desert, so we can have huge temp swings from day to night.
ReplyDeletereillyr2(at)hotmail(dot)com
Sixties in Utah today, but I am excited for the weekend! High seventies and sunshine!
ReplyDeleteGreat block! We had lots of rain & flooding last week. This week started out hot & humid - felt like July instead of May. Hoping Spring comes back. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt block! Congrats on the cover! Here in NC it has been unseasonably hot but spring weather is back today. cotten.gloria@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am located near the Hill Country of Texas (San Antonio area) and the weather here is cool at nights (50s F) and HOt during the days (high 80s and low 90s F). We get the occassion Thunderstorm; but, it's mostly dry and sunny these days causing me to have to water my garden frequently.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a lot of rainy dreary days but not a lot of rain like you. I just want to see sunshine and warm days. Your block is very cool!
ReplyDeleteI live in Pennsylvania. It is not near as bad as your area, although we did get storms yesterday. 50's and 60's this week. Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteI live in east TN and the weather is amazing. Skies are crystal blue and it is warm outside. Please be safe in all that water. Water is so dangerous and so many people dont realize HOW dangerous until they see roads gone. Praying for you and your neighbors.

ReplyDeleteWe have had lots of rain but nothing that bad here!! Actually spring has been very early here and everything is full of pollen! Take care - mumbird3(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteSunny and dry in south Texas. The southern edge of that storm system just touched us one night and was gone.
ReplyDeleteWe are having a lot of rain here, but not as much as you have gotten. Take good care.
ReplyDeleteauntie.clark@gmail.com
The blue ombre one made me go "Oooohhh!" :) Here in Cincinnati its cool and breezy--more rain on the way, but we get a breather!
ReplyDeleteLove the block and the different ways to lay it out! We had "SNOW" this past weekend here in NW Kansas. I spent the weekend quilting until we lost power, took a nap then back to quilting when the power came back on 3 hours later!
ReplyDeleteIt is COLD that is all anyone needs to know! We had a very brief warm spell (60s) that did not last long enough. I am so ready to walk the dog without hat, gloves and winter coat.
ReplyDeleteSpring here has been cold with rain and then hot days. We have had changes in temperature sometimes 10 degrees from one day to the next.
ReplyDeleteHowdy from sunny,warm South Texas! Not too terribly hot yet, nice cool evenings, great for Fiesta time.
ReplyDeleteI like how versatile your block is!
Congrats on being a cover girl, your block is awesome! I am in upstate South Carolina and while we have not had to deal with flooding, we had a huge hail storm a few weeks ago and I now have many holes in my siding and roof.
ReplyDeleteWow! We have had some rain the last few days but nothing like you have had. My basement seems to have a continual stream going through it.Looks like you may need a boat to travel down your road. Love your block and the variations you have shown. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour flooding pictures are pretty impressive! We have nothing like you. I'm in central Ohio and it's chilly here (low 40s). We've had rain for 2 days, but nothing like yours.
ReplyDeleteToday is hot 85* here in Ga. We had rain yesterday but the plants say water please.Two weeks ago we got 4" of rain in a few hours. We had a flood in the backyard but you would not know it now. We need water but not in a flood, so I know and understand flooding. When I see your quilt I think about the quilt I made using music fabric. It was fun but keeping true even strip was hard.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a very rainy week here in NW Indiana....and more to come this week and weekend. I'm expecting LOTS of May flowers coming up!!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt block!
That is a lot of rain! We have had a little rain and a smattering of snow here in MIchigan - it was 45 degrees out today and chilly. Great block!
ReplyDeleteI am in Albury, Australia. It is Autumn here, we have been having lovely sunny days but quite cool, at the moment it is 15.4 C (59F) and our nights have been getting down to 3c (37F)
ReplyDeleteI live in Riverside, California and the weather has been in the 80's and 90's. But that is the perfect excuse to stay inside and quilt. Great block. I love blocks that can be arranged into different designs. I love the blue ombre version.
ReplyDeleteThe weather in the Pacific Northwest has been rainy and dreary most of the time from October till now. The sun has been out but not very often. I live by Puget Sound and have watched the rain squalls for months.
ReplyDeletenikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
Very cool block! Here in the desert in Arizona it will hit 100 on Friday! Should be fun! kthurn@bektel.com
ReplyDeleteI love your Split Mountain block. The weather here in Maryland is Sunny and in the high 60's
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat block. I love how you've shown the different quilt layouts using it. As for the weather, it's been a mixed bag here in the Pacific Northwest. We've been in the mid-40s to mid-60s with rain, sun, hail, and whatever else gets thrown our way. It changes by the minute.
ReplyDeleteyou block has a modern look,nice...I live in California and this winter we have our share of rain,flood......marta...martamanole@yahoo.com
ReplyDelete15" of rain!?!?! wow! It's a beautiful sunny day and 71 outside. Spring is late to arrive to North Central Washington state this year. We are a good 10 degrees below our average temps for this time of year.
ReplyDeleterainy.
ReplyDeleteI love your block and how the pinwheels kind of look like they are underneath the lines. We have had a lot of rain here also. 2 days ago the storm was so severe there are still people without power. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteOur weather hasn't been anywhere near as dramatic. After recoerd highs in April, today was sunny and mid 70s.
ReplyDeleteIt was rainy and chilly this morning. Typical Pacific Northwest weather. But, this afternoon the clouds disappeared and the sun came out. By early evening the temperature was in the low 70s!
ReplyDeleteAfter months of wet cold weather, we actually got almost up to 80 deg. today. So exciting; of course it only will last til tomorrow then back to 60s & rain. reply to pjrquilter (at) msn (dot) com
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, take care of yourself and yours. We are having rain too. Took me several hours after my walk to get warm again. We still have a fire in our wood stove to keep the house warm. I love your block...it reminded me of going up the stairs in my parent's house so many years ago...they had a railing and so I loved your block for the memories. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteWe are moving into winter in Australia but the weather here has been lovely. It is mild, not hot or cold with a little rain at times. At the moment it is a lovely still afternoon. I am enjoying it while it lasts. It can rain a lot here too for weeks although not so much that roads wash away! Love your block and the quilt options.
ReplyDeleteWe are having lovely weather in Wisconsin and hopefully it will be warmer soon. I think it is frightening to see how quickly a rainstorm or tornado or other weather phenomenon can change our lives.
ReplyDeleteGoodness! What nasty weather you have been having! We are cruising into summer here--64 on Monday, 71 on Tuesday, 83 yesterday and 91 today! No rain--high desert here.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're safe and dry. The damage around you looks so extensive. Never really thought about floods and pipelines until I saw one of your photos. Hope the cleanup goes well. By the way, love your modern block. What a great idea to use Ombre.
ReplyDeleteYikes... when I first read the prompt I was going to say chilly and raining, but I think I should change that to drizzling. Nothing like the rain you've had... stay safe! Amazing block!!
ReplyDeleteWe are experiencing beautiful weather in northeast Victoria, Australia. Lovely 19 degrees centigrade (66 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day and cool nights. I love your split mountain pattern. I felt like I was viewing the mountain through a window. Cheers Lenore
ReplyDeletethat weather is headed my way friday and sat, I'm staying inside.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Covergirl! :) Weather here is cloudy and rainy and colder for this weekend. The perfect weekend to stay in and sew!
ReplyDeleteWeather here is cool and pouring rain. Perfect curl up with a quilt weather!
ReplyDeleteAloha! It's hot and humid in Hawaii today. There are no tradewinds today so you can feel the humidity more. Otherwise it's a gorgeous day in paradise.
ReplyDeleteIn Montana this week we have gone from temperatures in the 30's to temperatures in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteWow! We've had some rain, but nothing like that. Getting ready for our hot summers and 3:00 showers here in south Florida.

ReplyDeleteWe are having one rainy spring as it looks like you are. Any day of sunshine is greatly appreciated. I must admit though, I like to sew when its raining, but this is a bit too much, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteSpring weather here. It can't make up it's mind. Sometimes cold, sometimes windy, with some sunny times thrown in. Looking forward to some sun this weekend
ReplyDeleteThe weather, ever changing, popular topic for sure. We are expecting torrential rainfall starting tomorrow, we had the same thing as you did, last year, lots of roads washed out and no electricity for a couple of days! but summer is on the way and certainly looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteSouthern Indiana has been gloomy, rainy, and cold! YUK!!
ReplyDeleteYes, lots of rain...but our grass is so green! coming up on Monday night, we have a low predicted of 29! And I had just bought all my annuals to plant tomorrow. I'll just have to get them done and cover them up.
ReplyDeleteI'm in FL and we are suffering from lack of rain, so send some down.. Your block is cute, can't wait to try it out... Thanks
ReplyDeleteAfter a long snowy winter and rainy spring we have finally had 2 nice days in a row. Maybe spring is finally coming to Montana!
ReplyDeleteFinally some warm and sunny weather after a winter of record snowfall. Hope the high country doesn't melt to fast
ReplyDeleteI recently moved to Gresham, Oregon, and we have had the wettest weather in a long time. We have had rain, sleet, snow and even hail, which is incredible for this time of year. Today it is sunny and mild with a few clouds. Just beautiful! Finally the fog is gone!
